Q

What are the 3 steps of binary fission?

A
  1. As the chromosome duplicates, one copy moves toward the opposite end of the cell
  2. Cell elongates, chromosomes keep moving
  3. Once chromosome duplication is complete and cell is 2x size, plasma membrane pinches inward and more cell wall is made, dividing the parent cell into two daughter cells.

80
Q

What occurs during prophase? In the nucleus and the cytoplasm

In the nucleus: chromatin fibers become more tightly coiled and folded forming discrete chromosomes

In the cytoplasm, the mitotic spindle begins to form as microtubules rapidly grow from the centrosomes, which begin moving away from each other

True

A shallow grove in the cell’s surface

86
Q

At the cleavage furrow, what exists?

A

A ring of microfilaments (actin and myosin)

87
Q

What happens, at the cleavage furrow, as actin and myosin interact?

A

The ring of microfilaments contracts, eventually pinching shut

88
Q

As the cleavage furrow deepens, what occurs?

A

Pinches the parent cell into two

89
Q

In plants, what property prevents contraction of the cell?
